History Quotes / GameOfThrones

Tyrion: Into your service? Your Grace we have only just met. It’s too soon to know if you deserve my service.\\
Daenerys: If you’d rather return to the fighting pits just say the word.\\

Tyrion: Because you can not build a better world on your own. You have no one at your side who understands that land you want to rule. The strengths and the weaknesses of the houses that will either support or oppose you.\\
Daenerys: I have a very large army and very large dragons.\\
Tyrion: Killing and politics aren’t always the same thing. When I served as Hand of the King I did quite well with the latter considering the king in question preferred torturing animals to leading his people. I could do an even better job advising a ruler worth the name.\\
Daenerys: So you want to advise me. Very well. (looks to Jorah) What would you have me do with him? I swore I would kill him if he ever returned.\\

Tyrion: Whomever Ser Jorah was when he started informing on you, he is no longer that man. I can’t remember seeing the same man as devoted to anything as he is to serving you. He claims he would kill for you and die for you, and nothing I have witnessed gives me reason to doubt him. And yet he did betray you. (Beat)Did he have an opportunity to confess his betrayals?\\

Daenerys: No. Not until forced to do so.\\

Daenerys: Remove Ser Jorah from the city.\\

-->I'm not asking you to forget your dead. I'll never forget mine. I lost fifty brothers the night that Mance attacked the Wall. But I'm asking you to think about your children now. They'll never have children of their own if we don't band together. The Long Night is coming and the dead come with it. No clan can stop them. The free folk can't stop them. The Night's Watch can't stop them. And all the southern kings can't stop them! Only together, all of us. And even then it may not be enough, but at least we'll give the fuckers a fight!
-->-- '''Lord Commander Jon Snow, speaking to the wildlings at Hardhome'''

'''Euron:'''[[VillainRespect I remember very well. I saw you. I heard so much talk. The best in the world. No one can stop him. I didn't believe it, to be honesty.]] But I must say, when you rushed through the breach and started cutting people down...it was glorious. Like a dance.
'''Jaime Lannister:'''[[EveryoneHasStandards The people I was cutting down were your own kin.]]
'''Euron:'''Place was getting crowded. I enjoyed watching it. I truly did.
'''Jamie Lannister:''' And I enjoyed killing Greyjoys.
'''Euron:''' If you hadn't crushed us, I wouldn't have gone into exile. And if I hadn't done that. I wouldn't be the greatest Captain of the Fourteen Seas.

'''Tyrion:'''A long and bloody tale. To be honest, I was drunk for most of it.

'''Davos Seaworth:'''This is Jon Snow.(Beat)He's King in the North.

-->'''Daenerys Targaryen:''' I was born at Dragonstone. Not that I can remember it. We fled before Robert's assassins could find us. Robert was your father's best friend, no? I wonder if your father knew his best friend sent assassins to murder a baby girl in her crib. Not that it matters now of course. I spent my life in foreign lands. So many men have tried to kill me. I don't remember all of their names. I have been sold like a brood mare. I have been chained and betrayed, raped and defiled. [[Pride Do you know what kept me standing through all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any gods. Not in myths and legends. In myself. In Daenerys Targaryen.]] [[BeyondTheImpossible The world hadn't seen a dragon in centuries until my children were born. The Dothraki hadn't crossed the sea. Any sea. They did for me.]] I was born to rule the Seven Kingdoms. And I will.\\

'''Davos Seaworth:''' You don't believe him. I understand that. It sounds like nonsense. But if destiny has brough Daenerys Targaryen back to our shores, it has also made Jon Snow King in the North. You were the first to bring Dothraki to Westeros? He was the first to make allies with Wildlings and northmen. He was named Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. He was named King in the North. Not because of his birthright. He has no birthright. He's a damn bastard. All those hard son's of bitches chose him as their leader because they believe in him. All those things you don't believe in, he faced those things. He fought those things for the good of his people. He risked his life for his people. [[SayingTooMuch He took a knife in the heart for his people. He gave his own --]] (Jon glares at him) If we don't put asside our enmities and band together we will die. And then it doesn't matter whose skeleton sits on the Iron Throne.

-->'''Euron Greyjoy:''' This is the life. Look at them. Cheering for a Greyjoy.

'''Tyrion Lannister:''' And some Clegane cunt to help them see it through.

-->'''Jon:''' [[DareToBeBadassSo, why are you still talking to me?]]

'''Cersei Lannister:''' And you conspired with Tyrion, the man who murdered our father, without telling me, your queen.
'''Jaime Lannister:'''I didn't conspire with him.
'''Cersei Lannister:'''You met with him in secret without my consent, you planned to promote my enemies' interests. THAT is the definition of conspiracy.
'''Jaime Lannister:''' I pledged to ride north. I intend to honor that pledge.
'''Cersei Lannister:'''[[InsaneTrollLogic And that will be treason.]]
'''Jaime Lannister:''' Treason?
'''Cersei Lannister:''' Disobeying your queen's command, fighting with her enemies, what would you call it?
'''Jaime Lannister:''' Doesn't matter what I'd call it.
[Jaime starts to walk away, but Ser Gregor Clegane blocks his path]
'''Cersei Lannister:''' I told you no one walks away from me.
'''Jaime Lannister:''' Are you going to order him to kill me? I'm the only one you have left. Our children are gone, our father is gone; it's just me and you now.
'''Cersei Lannister:''' There's one more yet to come.
'''Jaime Lannister:'''Give the order, then.
(Cersei stops the Mountain from killing Jaime)
'''Jaime Lannister:''' I don't believe you.(leaves her)

-->'''Euron:''' ''(wistfully)'' Ever since I was a little boy... I wanted to grow up and marry the most beautiful woman in the world. So here I am. With a thousand ships... and two good hands!

-->'''Jon:''' So, why are you still talking to me?

-->'''Jaime Lannister:''' There it is. That's the look. I've seen it for 17 years on face after face. You all despise me. Kingslayer. Oath breaker. Man without honour.

-->'''Jaime Lannister:''' You think the honourable Ned Stark wanted to hear my side? He judged me guilty the moment he set eyes on me. [[NotSoDifferent By what right does the wolf judge the lion?]] By what right?

'''Jon:''' ''(unlocks Tormund's shackles)'' [[DareToBeBadass Your people need a leader]]. And they need to get south of the Wall before it's too late. We don't have much time and they have less.

--> '''Jon:''' It is.
--> '''Tormund:''' Why now?\\
--> '''Jon:''' Because now I am Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.\\
--> '''Tormund:''' What would you have me do, ''[[SarcasmMode Lord Commander]]''?\\
--> '''Jon:''' I'd have you go north of the Wall. Gather the remaining free folk wherever they are and bring them back here. I'll open the gates for them and let them through. I'll find them lands to settle south of the Wall.\\
--> '''Tormund:''' They won't kneel for you and neither will I.\\
--> '''Jon:''' I don't want them to kneel for me. I want them to fight with me when the time comes.\\

-->'''Theon Greyjoy:''' I always wanted to do the right thing. Be the right kind of person. But I never knew what that meant. It always seemed like there's like there was an impossible choice I had to make. Stark or Greyjoy.

-->"I wonder if you're the worst person I've ever met. At a certain age, it's hard to recall, but the truly vile do stand out through the years. Do you remember the way you smirked at me when my grandson and granddaughter were dragged off to their cells? I do. I'll never forget it... I'm leaving this wretched city as fast as I can before that shoeless zealot throws me into one of his cells. If you're half as bright as you think you are, you'll find a way out of here, too. ... You have no support, not anymore. Your brother's gone. The High Sparrow saw to that. the rest of your family have abandoned you. The people despise you. You're surrounded by enemies, thousands of them. You're going to kill them all by yourself? You've lost, Cersei. It's the only joy I can find in all this misery."
